AN IDAHO MORMON
WITH AN EYE TO THE MAIN CHANCE,
FORSAKES HIS BRETHREN AND
JOINS A DIME MUSEUM,
Frank LcsIie's Newspaper.

At last it has been discovered
that a Mormon is good for some
thing. In front of a Bowery dime
museum is a ferocious picture OF
Destroying Angels" pulling out
two or three feet of an enemy's
tongue. Within the museum is a
lanky, mild old man, who declares
himself to be Mormon, but not a
destroyer" and says that, although
he has had four wives, he never
felt as if he would like to pull out
anybody's tongue. He describes
himself as man of peace, unpop-
ular on this account with the Idaho
Mormons, among whom he lived.
The reporter who interviewed him
states that there were only two par
ties in the neighborhood, Mormon
and anti-Mormon, and as there
were no Mugwumps, this particular
Mormon couldn't get along. To
uphold Mormonism, practically
meant to get jagged, and not to up
holdit, meant to get slugged, So
this brother compromised by going
into the show business. The mu-
scum people ought to have Senator
Edmunds to point With pride" to
this Mormon and the three wives

NEW FORAGE PLANTS.
Denver field and Farm.

DCuNCt AiCid anu
Alfalfa is substantially the for
age plant of Colorado today, but
there are others that attract our
attention, and will, when thorough
ly introduced, cause this to be the
richest cattle, sheep and horse grow
ing state of the Union. These
thoughts are suggested by consid-
ering the value and Importance of
alfilera, the somewhat new fodder
plant of the southwest. thas been
but little known in this country.
Its seeds have little spiral fila
ments attached, and when blown
about by the wind catch readily in
the soil and grow quickly. No
know forage plant fattens stock as
rapidly as alfilera. 1t grows in dry,
sandy places where water never
comes, and the rapidity with which
it spreads is something wonderful.
Another desirable and fast
spreading plant is rye grass, 1t
will grow in dry, sandy soil without
water, and the sage brush is be-
coming filled with it. The writer
has found clumps of this grass
three feet high growing where not a
drop of water has reached it, on
dry, sandy soil. On the divide this
year, beyond the reach of irriga-
ton, a ton and half will be har-
vested from the acre, besides af-
six months of grazing.
Let the dry lands of the state be
seeded with rye grass and alfileria,
and it will be worth millions to the
state. 1t is not probable that many
people will act on this advice, but
the sturdy and enterprising plants
are working their own way into the
divide country and soon will teach
the people what they ought to have
known years ago. These plants
have settled here to stay.

ROCKY RAILROADING.

VThe distance, via the Weiser

The Pope has been as good as hi
word. DR.. McGlynn himself failet
to appear at Rome in obedience tt
the command Of his holiness. Tht
priest may now indulge his procliv
tiles for agitation, and promulgatt
his revolutionary ideas to his hearts
content; but unless we are mistak-
en- he will soon find that the loss Of
his priestly Office and his excommu-
nication from the church will de.
prive him of his influence among
tho masses. TIe will now be nc
more nor less than q blatherskite
agitator, and it will not be strange
if be should degenerate into a vul-
gar BLACKBOARD, Salt Lake Herald.
What's the sense in writing
such piece of rot as the above ?
The Herald claims to be Demo-
cratic newspaper. When DR.. Nc
Glynn took the stump for Cleveland
in 1884, applying the Herald's reas-
ohing, he must certainly have been
on the road to blatherskiteism. His
priestly Office certainly came into
good play for the success of the
Democratic ticket. No Democrat
10 newspaper was then accusing
him of "promulgating revolutionary
IDEAS" But now when he "sees
the light" leading him beyond
blind partisanship, his priestly
robes are torn from him, and 'shis
influence with the masses" gone
Can the act of an old man in Rome
removing his priestly robes make
him any less Of a man =? To call a
man vulgar BLACKBOARD just be-
cause his conscience of right leads
him into ways which endangel
Democratic success in New York
is the rankest kind of blatherskite-
ism. We will venture that there
is one thing that DR.. McGlynn will
not do: He will not train with any
organization that claims the crime
of bigamy is divine command.
Can the Herald say as much?

THE Pinkerton detective agency,
once the pride of America, has been
for the past two years, gradually
sinking in public esteem. To sup
ply gang of cut-throat DULLES to
shot down and intimidate men who
are struggling with organized cap
ital for the payment of an honest
days wages, seems to have been
their chief object lately. They are
known all over the east as "Pink-
erton's Thugs" and many a poor
striker and innocent bystander has
fallen victim to their Winches-
tiers. But now they have got the
Irish "down on" them. Michael
Davitt, in letter to the Irish Ma
tional League of New York, says:
'In my opinion, England obtains
more information fIom Pinkerton's
American detective agency about
the plans and doings of the Irish
American organization, than through
any other channel"

office called Dooms-awful name-and
they wanted a postmaster appointed at
once, SO what did they do but ask the
appointment of Frances Cleveland as
acting postmistress. The request stag
gered the high postal authorities, and at
first the request came very near going
into the waste paper basket. But the
clerk in charge Of the Virginia desk hap
pened to read the letter again, and found
that the applicants name had an II. in
it, and read "Frances III. Cleveland >
and not Frances f. Cleveland" Be-
sides, the clerk also discovered that the
Virginians wanted to compliment Mrs
Cleveland more than other States had
done, and so they picked out q postmis-
tress with q name as near as possible to
that of the beautiful mistress of the
White House. The matter was thus ex-
planned to First Assistant Postmaster
General Stevenson, and he at once or.
dered Frances II. Cleveland appointed

A Shocking Accident.

On Friday last Mr.. John johnson,
ST., and his wife were returning from q
q visit to their brother, Mr.. Isaac John
son., who has since died, they met with
a shocking accident that has since re-
suited in the death Of Mrs. johnson.
The accident happened near Mrs. Har-
rlet kitching's, in Tabernacle township.
They had just passed her house when
they met Freddie Holmes, nephew of
MIR. Alfred Holmes, who was riding q
horse. Freddie attempted to get out OF
the road, but the front wheel of Mr..
Johnson's buggy caught the horse in the
flank which caused him to come down
on the wheel, crushing it to the ground.
The noise occasioned by this collision
frightened the mule drawing the buggy
and it Immediately started off-runnine
about fifty yards-when it stopped and
commenced kicking. MI. johnson YVES

broken and sustaining Other Injuries,
The mule dragged the buggy some dis.
lance further, kicking as it went, until
stopped by MIR. JAS. Kitching, who was
at the mill and witnessed the accident,
When he got to the buggy he found the
mule standing with one foot through the
dash, and Mrs. johnson lying insensible
in the road twenty yards behind, having
been kicked in the forehead. She was
carefully picked and conveyed to the
residence of Mrs. Kitching, DR.. A. l..
Hutto was summoned, and every thing
that could be done for her relief was
done. The Doctor, after examining her
injuries, said there was no hope as hel

Tho Fatal Tree.

III 1886, Fort Gaines was a little more
than an Indian fort. Early in the
spring Of that memorable year, while
hostile Indians thronged this section,
and before they were removed by Uncle
Sam across the river above us, a party
of the ~treacherous wretches stole up the
then densely wooded line of the Town
Branch, and passed out to the Button
settlement, where they were met by SOL
di,rs and thrashed back to their reserya-
ton. Just where the Eufaula road
crosses the Town Branch, q beautiful
spring bubbled from the ground, and
people in the vicinity did their washing
there. On the day referred to above, q
lady was at the spring washing, when
the red miscreants passed. They brutal
ly murdered her, and after removing her
scalp left her body lying by the spring,
her bleeding head pillowed on the roots
OF o stately beech. Time has done it's
work. Tho Indians are gone, scenes
have changed and the towering beech
has long since gone to decay, and only
It's worm-eaten stump remains to mark
the spot where long years ago this sad
tragedy of death occurred. A friend
pointed us to the fatal spot and gave us
the above facts. They were new and in-
teresting to us, and will doubtless prove
so TO our readers. Truly, things have
changed.-Fort Gaines, Ga, Star.
